Rams' Sean McVay Still Undecided on Ty Simpson, Stetson Bennett
Rams coach Sean McVay says he still hasn't decided between Ty Simpson and Stetson Bennett as Matthew Stafford's primary backup.
The Los Angeles Rams have settled on drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the No. 13 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, despite head coach Sean McVay remaining unsure about whether Simpson or Stetson Bennett will be the team's second-string quarterback heading into the regular season. At 38 years old, Rams veteran Matthew Stafford has won the league's MVP award and led the franchise to a 12-5 record, raising questions about the potential need for a backup.
Simpson, a former Alabama standout, made a strong impression in his first NFL action, outperforming Bennett in a preseason game, but McVay has yet to officially name a starter. With both quarterbacks having participated in each of the Rams' first two preseason contests, McVay's uncertainty about the backup role adds an intriguing layer to the team's decision to draft Simpson so highly.
